O soše
Mourning Saint John, carved by an unidentified sculptor around 1240–1260, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. The figure once belonged to a Crucifixion ensemble whose image of the crucified Christ is now missing. Such a group may have stood on a beam above the entrance to the church sanctuary, marking a boundary that lay worshippers could not cross. Medieval churches commonly used Crucifixion groups to signify Christ's sacrifice and his actual presence in the Mass. On view in room 109.
Slovy muzea
These traditional devotional figures at one time formed a Crucifixion group with a Crucified Christ (now lost). The ensemble may have been mounted high above the entrance to the sanctuary of a church on a barrier called a rood beam, beyond which lay people were not allowed. Crucifixion groups were common in medieval churches where they symbolized the sacrifice and real presence of Christ in the Mass.
